The original records were lost and the CIFHS transcript was copied from the original records a few decades ago. However before the original records went missing an early transcript was made in the late 1800s, known as the Messervy Transcript and this can be viewed at Jersey Archive in book form. Hopefully one day this will be digitised or transcribed as it leaves a huge gap in the early records of St John.'''<br> | ||
